I'm still inclined to think this is a good (albeit messed with) cross. It looks like there is a lot of solder overspill on the edges on the reverse 6 and 9 o'clock arms. Maybe it has been apart and badly resoldered.

If it's a fake, then I think it's a damn good one. I still think it looks very like a '122' with the rounded inner corners and I believe I can see a small hump under the jumpring. The beading although worn still looks very well defined.

But, if it's as you say, a one piece cross, then I cannot argue.... It had me fooled.

Actually, I've seen this type of one-piece. I think it's a good one, most likely, and pretty rare.

its not solder its were it is damaged there like it was droped. and 6 o'clock on the back there was a bit of sticky stuff i only noticed it when i took the picture
also what sort of money would you be looking at for a one peice

Maker is unknown. You did pretty well on the price. It's probably original, but I don't know if anyone knows for sure. Let's put it this way: I've seen this exact cross sold as an original by respectable dealers. Doesn't mean much... but it's something.
